A mate of mine is subbying for them -only servicing though. He loves it 4/5 months now -good experience for him as he's newly qualified to corgi.
He's in Catford (london) area and gets between 10 &12 jobs a day on average. Something like £20 -£25 per job (appliance) depending on appliances ( sometimes 2/3 per property).
Have heard some very negative comments for fulltime employees though !
Hope this helps,
Jon.

I used to sub from BG ten years ago , it was ok then ,I was getting 18 per appliance for the lead appliance and a bit less for the others , its ok if you get all the jobs close together and dont get all back boilers like I used to .I have been speaking to several agencies lately who say you can earn between 800 and 1200 per week , if you think in the region of 900 you wont be dissapointed , you have to go through agencies , they seem to have it all sown up , you have to sit a little exam at BG as well nothing hard mostly ventilation as i remember , they give you a gas analyser to use and really on all modern boilers thats all they want you to do .As I said this was all ten years ago but I have been thinking about going back for a bit.
